Monthélie

Pinot Noir grows on an east-facing, 1.16-hectare site with clay and stones at the surface. Grapes are hand-harvested into small cases, sorted by hand and destemmed. Maceration lasts three to four weeks in open wooden or stainless-steel vats, with twice-daily punching down during fermentation. Maturation lasts about eighteen months in barrel, with around one third new oak. The wine comes from a village appellation in the Côte de Beaune.
